Basically we're now completely dry during the day and only wearing nappies for bed!
It wasn't easy to start off with, and after the first 2 days I was completely ready to just pack it in and wait a little longer! However I persevered and all the hard work paid off on day 3 when she didn't have a single accident. She even surprised me by doing a poo on the potty on day 1! She's always struggled with her number 2's and I thought we would struggle to get her to go on the potty but she's much more regular now, so it's obviously a lot more comfortable to sit on the potty and do it than it was to do it in her nappy!
At first we were still putting nappies on her if we went out as although she was using the potty at home she wasn't actually telling us when she needed to go, it was more a case of us just trying her on it ever half hour or so. Eventually we noticed though that when we were getting home she would go on the potty straight away and the nappy would be bone dry so she was obviously able to actually control her bladder. After a shopping trip to Morrisons where she had been wearing a nappy she got in the car and said she needed to wee. I told her that we were nearly home but if she really needed to go she had a nappy on so could go in that. She was clearly in some discomfort but refused to pee in her nappy and instead managed to hold on until we were home and go on the potty!
So since then we've stopped the nappies whilst out and are yet to have an accident! The only downside at the moment is that she downright refuses to use the toilet and will only go on the potty! This is all well and good at home as it means we don't have to traipse up and down the stairs all the time but it also means wherever we go, the potty does too! I know she probably will use the toilet eventually but she has done so well so far I don't want to push her too much and upset her in case she just regresses.
When she has a nap she still wears a nappy, even though 9 times out of 10 they are bone dry when she wakes, I think I'm just a little scared of letting her sleep without one just yet, and we're still a long way off being dry at night, but I am so pleased with how well she has done and so proud of her! I'm also proud of myself for actually persevering and not giving up when I was sat crying because she'd peed on the settee for 5th time! It's all paid off and now I've got what I was hoping for - Pops out of nappies before baby number 2 comes along!
